Hi!

 G'day All,
 
 Not a true PESO, just a silly shot I took while goofing around:
 
 http://www.arach.net.au/~savage/Misc/Images/_IGP0547.jpg
 
 Pentax K10D, FA 100mm f2.8 Macro with 1.7x AF Adapter, 1/180 @ f10,
 ISO 1600, AF-540 FGZ flash.

Dave, I definitely disagree with the sentiment here, unless there was a 
smiley attached which I missed somehow.

But why would you have to do it at ISO 1600?

Cool shot anyway!

Boris

The title was tongue in cheek :-)

 But why would you have to do it at ISO 1600?

Before I put the flash on the camera I was testing SR doing some hand
held macro.

When I put the flash on I changed it back to ISO 100 but because of
the way I was bouncing the flash off the wall  ceiling,  because I
was shooting at f10 the shots at ISO 100 were quite under exposed. SO
I switched back.

To be honest because of the subjects texture any noise is invisible anyway.

 Cool shot anyway!

Thank you.

Cheers,

Dave

That's why I'm holding onto it.

Who knows, in 20 years it might be woth $25 as opposed to 50c?

  ISO 1600, AF-540 FGZ flash.

 I'm somewhat surprised that this still shows rather shallow DOF even at F10
 and a shooting distance with 100mm plus x1.7 converter.
 With a flash, no appreciable noise.

I always struggle with DOF. I generally shoot hand held which tends to
limit my aperture choice.

WRT the noise, I think the subjects rough texture has a lot to do with
it. Viewing the original at 100% there is not really any noticeable
noise.

 A fun shot.

Thanks for looking Ken.

Cheers,

Dave
